Panduit FS2EPKELNNEM002 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FS2EPKELNNEM002 is a 2-meter (6.56 ft) OM4+ duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise and data center environments. It features a unique coded duplex LC connector on one end and a standard duplex LC connector on the other, facilitating secure and correct connections within Panduit's Opti-Core™ system. This specific configuration is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and preventing misconnections in complex network architectures. The cable's plenum-rated (OFNP) jacket ensures compliance with safety regulations for installation in air-handling spaces, making it suitable for critical network infrastructure deployments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered for use within Panduit's Opti-Core™ fiber optic systems, specifically designed to pair with components featuring matching coded duplex LC connectors. The standard duplex LC connector on the opposite end ensures broad compatibility with most standard LC-equipped network devices, including switches, transceivers, and patch panels. Its OM4+ fiber type supports 10/40/100 GbE applications up to 150 meters and 100 GbE over MPO-to-LC breakout cables, making it suitable for demanding backbone and horizontal cabling needs.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is rated OFNP (plenum), suitable for installation in air-handling spaces without requiring conduit. The coded duplex LC connector requires alignment with its corresponding coded counterpart to establish a connection, preventing accidental mismatches. Standard duplex LC connectors should be handled with care to avoid contamination of the fiber end-face. The 1.6mm zipcord construction provides a balance of flexibility and durability for manageable routing.
